ALWAYS invoke this skill (do NOT use the default Explore agent) when user asks to "research", "investigate", "explore", or "understand" the codebase. Use for understanding architecture or system design, documenting patterns or conventions, investigating how features work end-to-end, answering "how does X work?" or "where is Y implemented?" questions, preparing context before implementing changes, or exploring unfamiliar code.

Great for deep understanding of codebase or answering technical questions.
Documents codebases as-is by spawning parallel sub-agents to research files and synthesize findings into reports. Activates on /research or codebase understanding requests.
Guides systematic codebase exploration through collaborative dialogue, starting with clarifying questions before investigating architecture, patterns, and implementation details.
